In the artist’s words: Describe one of your earliest musical memories in detail. As a child, I was captivated by Beethoven’s piano concerti and Liszt’s solo works, especially his Paganini études. I would play their themes, then create my own variations with new rhythms, harmonies, registers, and textures, absorbed in the sound.
